ICC refuses to release rebel leader Bosco Ntaganda

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The International Criminal Court has refused to release a Congo rebel leader nicknamed "The Terminator" from pre-trial detention.

In a 3-2 decision, judges rejected on Wednesday Bosco Ntaganda's appeal against a decision to keep him in custody while the court considers whether he should stand trial on 13 charges, including murder, rape, persecution and using child soldiers.
